I got this amp in a local trade recently, and just don't see myself putting it to as much use as I had originally thought. I used it for my upright, a keyboard and an acoustic guitar with good success at a gig a couple of weeks ago.

The original owner bought this a few days after Christmas (4 months ago) for over $750 (I'll see if I can find the original receipt which he gave me too). I'll be glad to post better pics later today, along with a better description.

I'm mostly looking for cash but am open to trades... what you got? $350 shipped to the lower 48

Ok, I realize that this isn't likely everyone's first idea of a bass amp... but it really does serve a great purpose for a good price. It can handle acoustics (guitars and basses), uprights, keyboards, vocals and even your everyday ol' bass (fretless especially). This is a super-duper coffee house gig special!

Very low hours... at an amazing price!

$350! Shipped! That's cheap.

Jeez....I'll think about it.
Bad timing for me.

But, you might put this in the double bass section.
This amp *kicks ass* for DB; cause it allows you to mix a mic and a pickup.
Very nice.

Would you take a partial trade of a brand new set of Nordstrand Big Single 5's, or; EMG J 5's and the btc preamp?

thx, good luck, sweet deal;

What sort of trade items interest you most? I have a 1981 Music Man guitar/bass TUBE head, its a Music Man 75. Very cool Class B tube rig w/ a solid state preamp. I just finished restoring a 62' Portaflex, so I don't need the MM anymore.

Chef, I wish I had a need for those... throw other ideas by me. I'm always willing to look.

OZMDD, I have glut of amp heads right now that need cabs. I'm probably going to have to pass right now. Thanks though!

For 229 and others, this is a MIM model. There are no issues whatsoever with the amp.

I need: a 2x12 4ohm bass cab, a 2x12 8ohm guitar cab, a Vox Tonelab LE (or SE)... just to name a few items. Other cabs will definitely be considered.
